#Yankees
GM Brian Cashman continued his commitment to raising awareness for homeless teenagers Thursday night. In the pandemic, no media and he had to do it at the Stadium. here are pics from the team.
Just heard the
#Yankees
scouts, whose current contracts expire on 12/31, were informed they will be back on the same deals for 2021. Good to hear the most robust scouting dept. in baseball is staying together even in tough financial times.
#Yankees
will have a moment of silence before the game tonight for Kelly Rodman, one of their amateur scouts. She passed away this morning. A very, very nice woman who was one of the few women in scouting.
#RIP
Gleyber Torres looks as thin as I’ve seen him since I started covering
#Yankees
in 2018. He said he has been working out since season ended and feels good going into the season - whenever it starts.
#Yankees
You cannot leave the decision to play up to players. They have been groomed their whole lives to play through pain, etc. They are not infectious disease experts. The
#Marlins
players should not have been making the decision.
#MLB
needs an independent arbitrator...
Judge, Voit and LeMahieu had one last unofficial workout today at a local high school. They heard from Boone and coaches last night. They expect to stop in for physicals tomorrow or Sunday.
#Yankees
So if Aaron Judge ties or breaks the iconic
#Yankees
record on Friday night they won’t have one familiar TV announcer because it’s on Apple?
#Yankees
fans do not deserve that. MLB deserves the embarrassment though.
It would be so incredibly tone deaf of the
#Mets
to fight David Wright on making a comeback. He was their good soldier through the lean/Madoff years, he has been through years of rehab, it is a meaningless September for the Mets, why pick a fight with the only feel-good story?
Luis Severino said he feels good after throwing at 120 feet today. He said he is not sure he has time to get back, but thinks he can. And will happily throw from bullpen if needed.

.
Gary Sánchez has been on the IL twice, missing 11 and 16 games on each stint. Has played just 83 games. And still leads MLB catchers with 27 homers this season.
#Yankees
I guess this is a good time for me to let you know I am going to be covering the
#Yankees
this year.
Thanks to all the
#Mets
fans who have been fun, interesting and kind over the past six years.
*Some very exciting personal news: I'm thrilled to announce I have accepted a position as the Mets beat reporter for the
@NYDailyNews
, starting 2/12 for spring training in Port St. Lucie.*
New & old
#Mets
friends, I hope you'll follow along this season. Let the countdown begin!
Boone on MLB umpires:
I understand what a difficult job it is and respect it. And Brennan, yesterday, I thought certainly handled the situation with a lot more class than I did. Also, i thought turned in a really good game. I respect the job they have to do.
#Yankees
Full Stroman about pressure of NYC:
I am built for this. I mean anybody can say whatever, but I am built for the big lights and the moment. I am not scared of it. I have never been. I’ll take that ball each and every time with the pressure on it. I love it.
#Yankees
#BlueJays
Severino is making second rehab start Saturday. Britton could be back on this road trip. Voit could start minor league rehab start as soon as Sunday.
#Yankees
Clint Frazier, on the travel roster and BP list, is not in the lineup. Am told they are giving him an extra day rest. He’s dealing with something minor and should be back soon.
#Yankees
The
#Yankees
still have work to do.
I, on the other hand, do not. My last column with the
@NYDNSports
. I am heading south and will still cover some baseball, but I know that's not what most of you were here for.....so thanks for following. It's been fun.
KRISTIE ACKERT | By re-signing the 30-year-old slugger, the Yankees are essentially back where they left off in the early hours of Oct. 25.
@ByKristieAckert
Best post game and trophy presentation in sports coming up. Just players and their fans. No owners first or such nonsense.
Puts MLB, NBA and NFL to shame.
Caught up with Bartolo Colon. Asked if he is coming back next year, he smiled and said "Maybe, maybe, maybe," and then shrugged. Said he misses his
#mets
days.
I was there when the
#Mets
signed Tebow. I was skeptical, but I've gotta give him credit. Most men pay hundreds to go to fantasy camp, he got the Mets to pay him to do it for four years.
Houston pitching change. I'd like to take this moment to thank the
#Astros
for having the domestic violence hotline flyer in every women's room here. It's good to know
#MLB
takes this so seriously.
This is a big moment. Seeing a woman answering questions as a baseball GM — and more than prepared for the moment — for the first time is cool.
That’s enough.
I don’t need to have men tell me they are ok with it or how it makes them feel. It’s not about you today.
So this is the new gig….or part of it. I am excited to be joining the
@TB_Times
to cover a little of everything. I am doing hockey tonight. Football and baseball too.
Zack Britton on the difficulties of a young family this season. He hasn’t seen his family in months and the kids “they just keep asking when I am coming home.”

Josh Donaldson's appeal of his one-game suspension for "disrespectful comments," to Tim Anderson was denied.
He will serve suspension Tuesday night, a league source confirmed.
